Fashion style in the Haredi community, Israel

The Haredi dress dates from the fashions prevalent in Eastern Europe in the 19th century, among Jews and non-Jews alike. These styles became rooted in ultra-Orthodox society particularly when waves of modernity and secularity began to shake up the Jewish world. recently many Haredi women are starting to change that perception and are opening high-end fashion boutiques. Religious fashionistas started incorporating international fashion trends modestly to their style. IN VIDEO: Hani Dobkin, at the only school for fashion and styling professions in the Haredi sector.
